The art course, which was
added last year, is under the di
rection of Mrs. Dale Ganz and
Mrs. Lee Kjelson. 'The 20 stu
dents have been busy doing let
tering, charcoal studies, making
stenciled aprons and shirts, mold
ing clay, doing oils, water colors,
tempera work, textiles and mak
ing portfolios.
If the old saying that an army
marches on its stomach is true,
it is none the less a fact that All
State plays, draws and acts on
its. Three meals loom large in
the day of every individual ( and
the quantity of food consumed by
the group Jooms even larger in
the life of Union dieticians. Dur
ing the three weeks the young
students eat 14,750 half-pint bot
tles of milk, 1.000 loaves of bread,
5,400 eggs, 360 quarts of ice
cream, 200 dozen sweet rolls,
1,789 pounds of meat and a ton
and a half of potatoes.
But classes and meals alone do
not by any means will the day of
the All-Staters. They have al
ready attended several dances and
parties, taken a tour of the Ne
braska state penitentiary and ap
peared before the public in an
open rehearsal. Recitals by All
Staters began Thursday and will
continue throughout the next
weeks.
On Sunday June 17, at 3 p. m.
the music section will present a
small ensemble concert in the Un
ion. The brass, string, woodwind
and vocal ensembles which will
participate are under the direc
tion of University students. A
trip to Capitol Beach is also on
the agenda for the All-Staters
within the near future.
At the end of the session, the
music, speech and art students
will return to their respective
schools. When they do they will
carry with them new techniques
and appreciations to be transmit
ted to their fellow students.
These topnotch students in the
fine arts will also carry memories
of their University and of their
fellow Nebraskans.

Holbrooks Amuse Audience
With Light Comedy, Drama
BY JERRY WARREN.
A near capacity crowd of sum
mer students saw something new
and different in dramatic presen
tations Wednesday night when
Hal and Ruby Holbrook brought
their "Theater of Great Person
alities" to the stage of the Union
ballroom.
The w,fll-pleased audience reg
istered mixed emotions during
the production which was, in the
words of the leading man, "three
fourths comedy and one-fourth
drama."
The Holbrooks presented four
scenes from their repertoire
Wednesday night. The- first was
a scene taken from "Victoria
Regina" in which the two stars
portrayed Queen Victoria and
Prince Albert.
Moliere.
An air of 17th century Paris
was presented in the second
scene, a comedy episode from
Moliere's "The School for Wives."
The scene depicts Arnolphe, a
perfect "fathead," who was con
triving to mold a perfect wife.
For his subject Arnolphe chooses
Agnes, a little girl of three or
four, and educates her as he
thinks the perfect wife should be
taught.
The scene begins when Agnes
has reached the age of 16 and
has developed into a very nice
looking girl. Arnolphe is forced
to leave on business and when
he returns finds that Agnes has
been seen with a young man.

Elizabeth and Essex.
The third scene was the "Ring"
scene from "Elizabeth and Essex"
and the fourth was adapted from,
the humorous "An Encounter
with an Interviewer" by Mark
Twain
The Holbrooks are now on
tour thru the Southwest playing
mostly college towns. According
to the man of the family, they
like to appear before university
audiences because "they are
more responsive and we try to
aim most of our humor towards
the college type."
Now in the process of complet
ing their repertoire, the young
married couple plan to continue
touring the country until such a
time that they think they are
ready for advancement in the
dramatic profession.
A critic who can propose noth
ing better, is just a nuisance.
